Patriots , Red Sox , Bruins of late , never feel like an underdog , I know we're good . Maybe because for years I cheered for not so good teams . This thread started with no one , I repeat no one giving the Broons a chance . Other than my northern neighbor , Ben , although reluctantly , giving us a chance . We finally made it to the big rink , the last game . Go Bruins ! Add me to the list of not thinking of the Broons at 1st. Funny how in the NHL teams seem to sneak up on us. I thought TB and DC were going to the 3rd round. PSA: Did I ever mention to not bet on what I think will win? Link to post Share on other sites
gunsrus Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Honestly , I thought we had a shot but expected TB to go all the way . Link to post Share on other sites

Not that I'm smart, but I had an idea the TB would not make it. Watched the Caps for too many times suffer the President's Trophy curse. Had a feeling that the winner between the Leafs and Boston would be the one to get out of the East. It will be interesting to see if the lay-off curse will bite the Bruins. However, it really does not matter if Rask keeps standing on his head. After all, that is the overriding story of the Cup, right? Peak at the right time and ride a hot goalie. All of my smack about Boston fans comes from living in the Washington area since the mid 80's and becoming a Caps fan shortly after I arrived. Due to it's transient nature, local sports fans have a hard time with teams on the East coast because the numbers are staggering. Link to post Share on other sites

jeff88 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Blues need one more win. If/when that happens, the final will be with 2 "newbie" teams that haven't been in it for a while. None of the 9 teams from the past five Cup finals will be in the mix since the Broons in 2013, now I call that parity! If the Sharks make it, then it dates back to 3 years. While I'm pulling for the Blues, and that should worry Blues fans everywhere, I'd still like to see Pavelski do well. Link to post Share on other sites

In PGH a long time baseball broadcaster named Bob Prince had a way of coining phrases: He called the method used to change from a bad experience to a good one "Hidden Vigorish". In other words, if you lost or something went wrong you were closer to overcoming it as it was your turn. Anyway, the Sharks have not been filleted yet. Link to post Share on other sites
